He said: “This initiative underscores the need for immediate action. We must ensure that the implementation of this partnership begins without delay to realize the benefits of the world-class institution in Kaduna.”

 

Also speaking, the minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, highlighted the critical role of strategic partnerships in ensuring success. He commended the University of Portsmouth, for its global reputation for academic excellence.

 

“Who you partner with determines the success of any venture. The University of Portsmouth’s track record and ranking among the world’s leading institutions assure us that this collaboration has immense potential.”

 

Executive secretary of PTDF, Ahmed Galadima Aminu, expressed gratitude for the years of collaboration with the University of Portsmouth, which began with exploratory discussions in 2019.

 

“The University of Portsmouth has provided invaluable insights into shaping CPESK’s operational framework, drawing from their global academic experiences in Oman and Singapore. Their guidance ensures that CPESK is fit for purpose and adheres to global best practices.”

 

This MoU follows earlier agreements signed with Robert Gordon University (RGU) and the University of Strathclyde in December 2024. Together, these partnerships form the foundation of CPESK’s pilot phase, involving three United Kingdom universities. The agreements reflect PTDF’s commitment to fostering world-class education and research in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

 

The vice chancellor of the University of Portsmouth, Prof. Graham Galbraith, lauded the collaboration, describing it as a unique opportunity to shape the future of energy education and innovation.

 

“This partnership aligns with our mission to create impactful global collaborations that benefit students, researchers, and industries worldwide,” he said.

 

As CPESK prepares to open its doors for the 2024/2025 academic session, PTDF remains steadfast in its mission to establish a globally recognised institution that will shape the future of energy education and research, setting new benchmarks for excellence in Nigeria and beyond.
